There’s no doubt that both autism and stuttering are life changing disabilities. However, I would challenge you to look at it from a new perspective. Many people find an identity in autism and stuttering, therefore the term “cure” doesn’t exactly resonate here. We are talking about differences in the way people think, learn, and communicate. The only reason it’s looked down upon is because as a society, WE have decided that it’s wrong to be different. There’s no reason a stutterer should be limited in life because of their choppy speech. Therapy shouldn’t make you sound more fluent, but it should help people to stutter easier and with less tension. Management is the key here. In my experience, people who have accepted their stutter are much happier and ready to tackle anything in life that a fluent person can. While there are certainly many cases of autistic people with more significant needs, the goal is still the same - functional and comfortable communication, in whatever manner they prefer (AAC devices or otherwise). Instead of finding a cure, I find that it’s best to educate people about tolerance and inclusion. And, as an SLP, my job is to help them communicate effectively (that doesn’t mean communicate the way everyone else does).
